Yeah I didn't believe that either but it seems to check out, Shearer never did it, Macdonald never did it, Milburn never did it.

[Rayvin 6147]

Jesus.. well that's some achievement then.

[Gemmill 51281]

The success rate of the club in the transfer market since the takeover is fucking wild. 

 

Bruno, Tonali, Isak, Hall, Livramento, Botman. 

 

Ridiculous. 

[Gemmill 51281]

Gordon. 

[Rayvin 6147]

While that's true, I still wonder if Howe's ability to develop players is what is taking high ceiling players and really making them the best versions of themselves.

Murphy probably clear evidence of that.

Burn also, for age and price.

That's definitely added to it. We've bought two CMs and Howe has converted Joelinton into an absolute beast, and we've got probably the best midfield in the league from a standing start as relegation certainties.

Shearer refusing to accept Isak is the first Newcastle player to get back to back 20+ goals in the top flight.

 

Had to have his entire Newcastle career read back to him, with Richards laughing in the background at some of his paltry returns during his later seasons.

I was going to suggest Cole but he didn't either..... Wow.....

it's an extraordinary hit rate. the only ones to underwhelm so far are targett and wood. arguably barnes too, but there's still hope he might be able to do something with with us. he's been good the past couple of games.

100%. this is where howe really excels as a coach. taking players who were previously written off and improving them - reinventing them in joelinton's case.

Wood did his job as far as giving us a focal point during our relegation fight tbf. He was a stop gap and it worked. Targett is probably the only one I’d say hasn’t worked but even then, we were making a successful loan move permanent so it looked like a no-brainer. Fucking mental that we even made an instant profit on Kelly

bit annoying that he's turned into prime shearer since going to forest too 

[Gemmill 51281]

 

Forest running 15 points ahead of their expected points. We're running almost 6 points ahead, but Forest are having a breakout season that is driven massively by short term positive variance.

Well they play to his strengths. As AH pointed out we signed him because we were desperate and were aware of the release clause. He couldn’t really play in the system Howe wanted to play because of his lack of mobility. Even then we got good money for him. I’m more pleased for him than annoyed because he seems like a good lad. I think he’s having a purple patch though

nah, fuck him.

he was beyond shite for us.

plays for the scabs.

they're direct rivals for a cl spot.

hope he's out for the rest of the season.

Howe has signed 22 players since he came to the club.

 

The only real flop is Ashby. But you've got to speculate to accumulate when you buy kids.
